Taxonomy Stafford's (1904) species, Derogenes plenus, recorded from the intestine of Anarhichas lupus from the Atlantic coast may, as suggested by Margolis and Arthur (1979), be a synonym of D. varicus. The fact that Stafford would have been familiar with D. varicus makes me suspect that it could have been another derogenid, especially as D. varicus is only infrequently found in A. lupus (cf. Bray, 1987c). A possibility is Progonus muelleri (see below), which Bray (1979) also found in A. lupus in Canadian waters. It is unlikely to have been Gonocerca phycidis (see below), as this is an archybenthal species occurring in deeper waters off the continental shelf (Gibson 1983). [details]
